I was told the benefit of AHD DVRs will support both analog and AHD over composite whereas CVI and TVI DVRs will only support CVI andTVI.

IP HD will win out... CVI, TVI, PVI, MVI, HVI, HCHD, and any other hybrid HD technology to come out of the woodwork will die on the vine. These technologies are proprietary and that does not bode well for their future. I've seen enough formats to know that these will not last, technological turnover will eat these platforms for breakfast... Just give it 3 years

Since this is obviously a IP focused group we all undoubtedly feel that IP HD will win out. However, some of those alternates do have some merit and may fit the needs of some projects. There have been many occassions where analog, even at SD resolution would have been a better fit on select projects.
However, the continued shift away from any kind of well established standard is just going to confuse the customer, future integrators, and the installers. I recently ran across a site where a potential customer has HD-SDI cameras, 960H cameras, and a smattering of analog. None of which are compatible and are on entirely different brands of DVRs. To that particular customer they are all "HD" and do not understand the challenge they have generated for themselves.
This is occurring just as IP is starting to have some level of basic unified standards and policing of those standards (thank you IPVM!). It doesn't bode well for the various competing HD products.

The biggest issue is installation costs. If it is a system with cheap camera, no need to string together multiple site, then the integrator is not needed. It becomes a more DYI than anything else. The distributor will not carry the product becuase they cannot make money on it. Then the issue of returns and warrenties etc.
This will become the venue for mom and pops. Sorry I dont see this as a big issue for the larger accounts or integratgors. No blood bath here, the implosion will begin shortly.

I think that, as with all products, the HD analog products have their time and place. They won't ever, IMO, replace IP cameras entirely. But, I do see them killing off SD analog systems almost immediately. I don't see any reason to install SD analog systems going forward when the cost of HD analog (HD-CVI specifically) is just about the same, give or take a few dollars.
Where they might hurt the IP segment is in the smaller projects that want/need HD quality, they now have a choice. And that choice is much less expensive. We have many clients who would like to have HD, but cannot afford an IP based system. HD-CVI allows them to enter the HD market and stay on budget.
When HD-SDI was announced, it didn't offer the cost savings that we are seeing with the HD-CVI products. Had HD-SDI been as drastic of a cost savings over IP that HD-CVI offers, there wouldn't have been a need to develop HD analog any further. I don't know that HD-TVI or AHD will be able to offer any advantage over HD-CVI. They certainly can't be MUCH cheaper, can they?
My question is, who's the VHS and who's the BETAMAX?
